Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Mods, please let me know if this breaks rule 1, it's technically my site but I get nothing from it. There's no ads, JavaScript, or tracking analytics, just a straight up html page. My hope is to simply have a place that shares facts.

It's by no means complete. I'd happily welcome anyone who has references to help me complete this page. I just found out the site I was using for his executive orders gets them after about 10 days, and the Whitehouse website has all the up to date one (almost 80 when I checked last night). I'll try to parse through them and update the list as I have time.

If you have any suggested edits or additional items I should add, I'm happy to do so given a reference.

I hope to keep it up to date as much as I can, but their whole plan right now is to flood the area with nonstop shit so that we can't really dial in on any one thing.

Edit: I've created a repo to outsource the work a little bit. Please feel free to interact and help out:

https://github.com/2025realitycheck/project-2025-reality-check

~~For some reason this is throwing a 404 when you go to it. Hopefully this goes away soon, likely because I only just created the account.~~

Problem has been resolved

I fucking love this! I want to make one suggestion tho. Make it more visually appealing. In "marketing" a quick way to digest information is paramount in today's world. All the information still needs to be there but I think a graph bar showing project 2025's progress will create a sense of urgency or a counter that shows each individual demographics concerns within project 2025's agenda. Example: a graphic that states policies that target women's rights 10 out of 25 signed into law. Another one that says laws that destroy our environment 7 out of 89 signed into law. Attack on worker rights 24 out of 50 signed. Ect...

Edit: I know several individuals that work in marketing and graphic design. They all are working in their own ways to combat Trump's agenda. I can reach out to them to see if you need help.

If they would like to contribute to this, I'll be happy to take it. Part of me thought exactly along the lines you are describing, but another part of me thought that if I made it too visually interesting, the content might get lost, or people would disqualify it as some sort of professional project.

I've considered making a git repo for people to post their suggestions and making prs and stuff so it's easier to contribute. I just have to make a new GitHub account that's anonymous.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Maybe give individuals an option to pick how they see the information? Indepth, visual, or hybrid.

Also this is way too much work for one person so you're git hub idea is great!

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Automation is great. I'll take a look at the source if your publish it

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Did you already pull it? Not seeing it

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Account issues due to using alias email, should be resolved soonish

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If you'd like, can you list what you want help with? In the readme.md or a CONTRIBUTING.md

Also I am good with actions, I can help automate anything you think would help

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I put up a basic readme, I'll add some more details to it as soon as I can. I don't know if I'll need any actions just yet, it's a single file deploy so I'll just handle it when it's updated.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Sounds good friend. Thanks again for this.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Added you as a contributor

[–] fan0m@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I’m not sure if it matters but I can uncheck the check boxes… maybe it’s undoing things in an alternate universe.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I hope it helps someone

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Great resource, hopefully mods let it stick around

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 7 points 6 months ago

I love it.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Because the rules are articles only, links only, if this gets taken down you might also try usa@midwest.social, or technology, for a couple of other venue options.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Thank you so much

[–] WarlockLawyer@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Various actions by musk and Trump through the office of personnel management check off the civil service slot.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Can you please provide some reputable links? I'll happily read them over and insert them.

[–] WarlockLawyer@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

https://mashable.com/article/trump-opm-memo-metadata-project-2025

Direct link to project 2025 in crafting memos and notices to federal employees

Attempting to reschedule federal workers to make them easier to fire and replace with political appointments.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Thank you, I'll read these over and place them where I think makes the most sense.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for this, just read and put up both links. The mashable link I added at the bottom.

If you come across anything else, please don't hesitate to let me know.

They're doing a lot of stuff, and it's hard to keep up

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Office of Personnel Management just sent an email to nearly every federal employee encouraging (bribing) them to resign, and threatening firings to come.

Full text of the email directly from the source:

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Fantastic, I'll update it as soon as I can.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Project 404 amirite

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Lol Problem has been resolved

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah, GitHub flagged my account because I used an alias email. It's being remedied

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Problem has been resolved

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Is this repo private?

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

No sorry, GitHub flagged my new account because I used an email alias. The ticket is still processing after I changed to legit email address.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

We have a thing called TrudeauWatch that shows how our PM was doing against his promises.

Only Trudeau so far as it was brought out in the early days of his contract when "pretty boy hate" was high by the low-brow cons. So there's nothing to compare him against; and I hope we never have to do this kind of a mess for our pseudo-aristocracy as it means they managed to slither back into power.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

A ToC and maybe a way to collapse the main categories would be nice too.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Noted, will look into it.

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 2 points 6 months ago

Needs a chart of some kind, maybe a percentage graphic? Nuclear clock? Colored grid that is categorized?

List all the items in 2025, a blue dot for not yet, yellow dot for in progress and red dot for accomplished? Then for each dot, available links for more info.

Might be cool to be like the “periodic table of 2025”

This is excellent and helpful. Thanks
